1 cup crushed chocolate cream sandwich cookies
3 Tbsp. melted butter or margarine
3 (8-oz) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. flour

Recipe

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Measure out 1 cup of crushed chocolate
cream sandwich cookie and put this in a small bowl.
Melt 3 Tbsp. of margarine or butter. Pour the melted butter over
the cookie crumbs while stirring mixture with fork. Once the mix-
ture is moist, pour crumbs evenly onto the bottom of a 9-inch
springform pan. Press crumbs evenly onto the bottom of pan using
fingertips. Bake crust for 10 minutes. Set aside.
Mix cream cheese with 3/4 cup sugar and 2 Tbsp. flour in mixing
bowl on medium speed until creamy and well mixed. Scrape side of
bowl and add one egg at a time to cream cheese mixture mixing well
after each egg is added. Once the eggs are added, stir in the
vanilla. Next stir in three quarters of the mini M & M's. Pour cream
cheese mixture into the springform pan. With the last quarter of
mini M & M's place them lightly on the top. Bake the cheesecake at
350ºF for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 250ºF. Bake an
additional 30 minutes, or until the top looks dry and cheesecake has
very little movement in center. When done baking, carefully slide
flat knife or spatula around edge of cheesecake. Place in refrig-
erator overnight.
